At Up North Therapy, I believe healing works best when people feel truly seen, heard, and safe to be themselves. Life up here can be quiet and beautiful—but it can also be isolating, overwhelming, and heavy in ways that are easy to carry alone for too long.
I strive to offer a calm, supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences without judgment. Together, we focus on building insight, emotional regulation, and confidence, while honoring your history and what has helped you survive so far. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself or your child, my goal is to help you feel more grounded and connected.
What We Offer: Individual therapy for children, teens, and adults; Couples and family therapy; School-based services; Art therapy and somatic approaches alongside traditional talk therapy; EMDR and Brian spotting. ARMHS services are also available.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, life changes, trauma, or simply seeking greater balance and clarity, our therapists are here to walk alongside you. We use evidence-based practices, compassion, and creativity to help you feel supported and empowered.
